H.R. 1161, which enjoys bi-partisan support was introduced earlier this session and authorizes the Government of the Czech Republic to establish a memorial in honor of Tomas Garrigue Masaryk, the first President of Czechoslovakia. By considering this bill, we are celebrating Tomas Masaryk's life long achievements and his quest for democracy, peace, freedom, and humanity. The statue of Mr. Masaryk will immortalize a true friend of the United States and a pioneer for world democracy.
